Answer
Hi Anita:  This is very common.  It can be a problem but doesn't last too long.  If my suggestions don't help, then please give the vet a call.  ( many times a virus)

First of all, lets give this little one some cottage cheese..  Purchse the low fat cottage cheese and give 3 tablespoons full once per day.  

Next, buy some Kellogs ALL Bran Cereal and give one tablespoon per day mixed into some dog food.  Make sure you are feeding a good food such as : Innova, Wellness Formual, Solid Gold or Canadide....  Great Holistic Brands with few fillers.  Excellent quality for your little one.

Last, buy some NuVET Plus Supplements/ NuVET is a Immune System Booster... This is  good for all ages and stages of a dogs life.

The gel type of substance, in the stool, is due to the small intestine working too quickly.  This can be related to stress or sometimes a virus.  Many times it will run it's course and then end as quick as it started.
The blood is because of intestine working too fast and hard.
